Unable to delete segments - Invisible JB

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
Roundabout segments have been moved outside the junction box by a level 3 editor, it is currently impossible to delete these segments because they are attached to these junction boxes but they are now invisible and therefore we cannot delete them either?

Environment where the bug occurs…:
ROW

I want to know how it’s possible to move segments outside of an existing junction box and not have a save error! Seems like that is the bigger problem/bug here and the WME code simply can’t handle this failure mode.

Hi @Mike_2985,

Thanks a lot for flagging this issue!
I have raised an internal ticket to look into this; I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

Kind regards,

Hi, it’s my fault
Since I couldn’t delete the JB directly, I tried to disconnect as many segments as possible from it in order to make it “useless” and remove it indirectly. So, I detached all the roads from the roundabout, and that’s when the JB disappeared. My initial plan worked halfway. However, the roundabout is still inside the JB, and if I try to move it too far, WME tells me I can’t because it would go outside the JB.

It failed but you discovered an annoying bug

Hello all,

I would just like to let you know that you should be able to delete the roundabout segments. Please let me know if you still face any issues with that.

@Zbouibe thank you for sharing the steps that led to this issue. An internal ticket has been raised to prevent such cases in the future.

Kind regards,
Olesya

I have another example of a lower level editor removing segments from a junction box that now cannot be deleted.

Hi @nimper2000,

Thank you for letting me know.
I have raised it internally and will inform you once it’s possible to delete the segment.

Kind regards,
Olesya

Thank you @Olesya-Staff
Should we file a separate report for the WME bug that causes the junction box to disappear?

Hi @nimper2000,

I have already filed an internal ticket for this specific case (to remove the association of the segment with the crossroad so it can be deleted), but for any further occurrences, I’d suggest raising it separately in local issues.

In the meantime, we’ve also raised another ticket to prevent this issue from happening in the future.
